How cat herbs effect on cats

As a pet owner, we have a duty to let our pets live and play carefree, so this article is written to pet owners who have cats at home. In the busy modern urban life, pets have become people’s life since cats were tamed thousands of years ago, cats have been integrated into our daily life and become our irreplaceable soul mate. After the changes of the times, the variety of cats has gradually increased. But there is one thing that time can’t change, that is Polygonum.
I believed that most owners like tease cats with cat mint or Matatabi. When cats touch these herbs, most of them will lie on the ground and roll, or become lazy and snore comfortably. But cats usually respond to cat mint for only fifteen minutes, and after fifteen minutes, the cat’s resistance to herbs increases, which means that the cat won’t react as much as it did in the first place. But don’t worry, because cats usually return to normal after two hours. It should be noted that cats should not be given large doses of cat herbs at one time, because this will have side effects on cats, because too much stimulation will affect the cat’s respiratory system, thereby cause breathing problems.
Polygonum multiflorum and catmint are different as cat toys. Most of our common toys use the nature of cats to interact with them. For example, feather teaser wand, which takes advantage of the nature of cat hunting, so that cats are interested in it and interact with their owners. Or maybe the cat’s interest in cartons. Have you found that your cat has an unexplained attraction for cartons? Every time you turn your head, you can see that the cat got into the cardboard box. This is because in ancient times, in order to protect itself, the cat would choose a narrow space as a resting place, so that other animals could not hurt it. Even now the cat’s life is much better than before, but his genes still retain this nature. Cat mint, on the other hand, uses its chemicals to stimulate cats and make them feel comfortable.
Cat Mint is distributed from Europe through Afghanistan, India to Japan, and is wild in the Americas and southern Africa. Cat Mint contains natural plant ingredients that can effectively help digestion of the intestine and stomach and relieve stomach inflation, but also help cats digest hair ball. They contain natural chlorophyll and vitamin C, which can relieve cat stress and treat nervous tension.
In the arcticle “Matatabi Sticks for Cats Explained: A Safe and Fun Treat!”, author Matt, Soniak explains that “When nepetalactone enters a cat’s nasal tissue, it binds to olfactory receptors at the olfactory epithelium. Sensory neurons are stimulated and cause neurons in the olfactory bulb to send signals to the brain. Once the brain gets involved, things get a bit murky……..” In other words, the reason that cat herbs effect cat is because in cat herbs there is compound called Schizonepet lactone, it stimulates a organ locate behind the upper jaw, called organon vomero-nasale, which is an auxiliary organ that specializes in the sense of pheromone odor.

When a cat smells cat mints, it produces an appetite booster, relieves stress or treats nervous tension. It can also excite cats. Matatabi is different from catmint in that only leaves attract cats. It can attract cats all over its body. Fruits bitten by insects are more attractive to cat because they produce more chemicals after stimulated by insects. This compound can affect our cats and is found in the leaves and stems of catmint.
Another cat herbs that is popular in cat toy market is called Silvervine -Actinidia polygama, also called Matatabi, a kind of “marijuana” in cat world, has also been widely loved by cats. Matatabi is a pure natural plant, which does no harm to cats. In fact, it has many advantages, in addition to raising the appetite and refreshing cats can also prevent diarrhea. Studies have shown that only 50% of cats react to cat mint, but more cats react to Matatabi. According to Phil’s post “What Is Catnip and Why Are Cats Crazy For It?”, author argued that “Matatabi has two ingredients that get cats excited; actinidine and dihydroactinidiolide.” Actinidine can effect the central nervous system which can cause cat to drool, lick, roll, sleep, and also get intoxicated and lose hostility. Also Matatabi enhance the sedative and hypnotic effects of phenobarbital, promote salivary secretion and reduce blood pressure.
Simply put, these plants are not only harmless to cats, but also have many benefits. Cats that sniff cat mint feel “high,” just like people who smoke some medical marijuana. The excitation lasts no more than 10 to 15 minutes, and the cat will return to normal. But cat Mint must be used in a small amount. Feeding cats too much cat mint can make them vomit and even cause diarrhea. Nepeta cataria may also make cats aggressive. But the effect of cat Mint is not universal, nor long-lasting. Some people say that cats respond differently to cat Mint because of inheritance. Some cats inherit the so-called “cat Mint receptor gene,” while others do not. In addition, kittens are immune to schizonepet lactone. Eating cat mint gives them a sense of calm and leisure. Oils in plants release more Schizonepeta lactones. Cat mint can be used as a sedative. A sedative is a drug that makes people feel calm or sleepy. Cats that sniff cat Mint feel “high,” just like people who smoke some medical marijuana.
